Abstract:

We monitored frugivore diversity and plant-frugivore interactions in a tropical montane forest in Southern Ecuador across an elevational (1000, 2000, 3000 masl) and human disturbance gradient over two years (2014 & 2015)

Additional info:

In the uploaded data you can find the richness and abundance of frugivore birds and fruiting plants(involved in the interaction networks. They were recorded in a 30m x 100m transect inside the core plots.

Abstract:

This dataset contains bird monitoring data from all core plots (natural and disturbed forest sites) from two different seasons(wet and dry season)at three different altitudes (1000, 2000, 3000 masl)over two years (2014 & 2015).
